Fabric

Did you know?

Faux leather: is most often made of cloth with a plastic coating which is washable and easy to care for in comparison to genuine leather. Faux leather has reached such a high standard of quality that it is often difficult to tell the difference between faux and genuine leather.

Viscose: used to be known as 'artificial silk' because like silk it has superb drape, is soft to the skin and can be dyed in rich colours. A man-made fabric, it's made from wood pulp and blends easily. You will often find it blended with other fabrics to add softness, lustre or absorbency (it's highly absorbent and so cool to wear in the summer).

Polyester: is something of a miracle fabric. A synthetic, it can be worn over and over without fading or losing its shape and is crease resistant. It works well in blends with natural fabrics such as cotton where it extends their life.

Polyurethane: is a synthetic material that is used as the base fibre for elastane. When polyurethane is spread out, it becomes soft and leather-like in texture which is why polyurethane is often used to make faux leather.

Thanks to the comments for clarifying that you had to order two sizes up. Indeed, it runs small. With two sizes above, she is just perfect. I love the material and the effect that she give back. In short I love!
